If you've scrolled past our Springfield listings and market updates before, this one's a little different — and a lot more fun.

This giveaway isn't about buying or selling a house. It's about being part of the Springfield, Dayton, and Columbus communities we've worked in for years — and saying thanks with something a little more fun than a market report.

Who Is Barry Manilow Playing For in Columbus, and Why Does It Matter?
Barry Manilow brings "The Last Columbus Concert" to Nationwide Arena on Sunday, August 2, 2026, at 7 p.m. — a rescheduled date after the show, originally set for January and then March, was pushed back by the venue. According to ABC6/WSYX, all previously purchased tickets from the earlier dates will be honored, and the night is expected to spotlight Manilow's five-decade run of hits — "Mandy," "Copacabana (At the Copa)," and "I Write the Songs" among them.
Nationwide Arena sits in Columbus's Arena District, an easy drive from Springfield and Dayton for anyone who wants a night out without the hassle of out-of-state travel. If you've been meaning to explore what living closer to Columbus real estate looks like, or you're already comparing it to Springfield homes for sale, our team is always happy to talk through what an hour's commute actually looks like day to day. And if the timing has you thinking about your own move regardless of who wins the tickets, you can always see what your home is worth in a couple of minutes.
